What is Frontpro used for in very small dogs?
Small dogs deserve optimal protection againstfleas and ticks, and Frontpro beef-flavored tablets are here to meet that need. Discover how these palatable tablets make life easier for your tiny dog by quickly and effectively eliminating parasites while providing long-lasting protection.
Frontpro beef-flavored tablets act quickly to eliminate and killall fleas, whether they are Ctenocephalides felis (cat fleas) or Ctenocephalides canis (dog fleas). Within just 24 hours of administration, these tablets target the fleas’ nervous system, preventing them from reproducing and multiplying in your dog’s coat.
What’s more, ticks don’t stand a chance against Frontpro. In just 48 hours, this treatment eliminates ticks, including Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus, which can cause serious health problems for your small dog.
Frontpro contains afoxolaner, an insecticide and acaricide from theisoxazoline family. This powerful ingredient provides continuous protection for 30 days. As a result, your small dog, weighing between 2 and 4 kg, will remain free of parasites throughout the month.
One of Frontpro’s major advantages is how easy it is to administer. The tablets can be mixed into your small dog’s food, which greatly simplifies the process. Furthermore, unlike many otherantiparasitic treatments, Frontpro allows your dog to be bathed or washed after administration without compromising its effectiveness.
Frontpro not only eliminates fleas and ticks, but it can also be part of a treatment strategy for managingflea bite allergy dermatitis (FBAD). By helping to prevent flea bites, this treatment helps reduce the risk of allergic skin reactions in your small dog, thereby improving its quality of life.
